Kornit Digital Ltd., a global leader in sustainable, on-demand digital fashion and textile production, recently unveiled its Atlas MATRIX digital production system, designed to deliver true demand-driven manufacturing with complete flexibility across cotton, polyester and blended fabrics.
At the system’s core, the company says, is Kornit’s proprietary Karbon Shield technology, a breakthrough protection layer preventing dye migration even on the most challenging deep-dyed and sublimated polyester fabrics.
True Single-step Custom Apparel Decoration Process
“Karbon Shield enables consistent, vibrant and durable results in a true single-step process, without complex setups or manual intervention, while maintaining a soft hand feel that meets the highest retail standards,” the company said. “The system supports both direct printing using Karbon Shield and transfer on film using Karbon Transfer, ensuring full consistency between decoration methods and opening new possibilities for placement, design flexibility, and product categories.”
According to Kornit, Atlas MATRIX also introduces expanded creative capabilities with two distinct configurations: a neon configuration designed for high-impact sports and performance applications, and a red and green configuration tailored for fashion and brand applications.
Shorter Setup Times, Better Consistency
“For years, the industry has been constrained by trade-offs, but that is finally changing,” said Ronen Samuel, chief executive officer of Kornit Digital. “Screen printing can deliver strong results on polyester, but requires long setup times, multiple process steps, and additional costs to control dye migration and maintain consistency. Digital solutions, including earlier generations such as Atlas MAX POLY, did meaningfully expand the boundaries of what’s possible, yet performance on polyester depended on fabric type, process tuning, and operational complexity. Atlas MATRIX removes these limitations entirely, opens a massive market opportunity, and firmly positions digital as the new standard for apparel production.”
